    This document contains 5 practice questions about biogeochemical cycles. The questions test knowledge about: 1) Nitrogen's reservoir, which is the atmosphere. 2) Nitrogen is the element that requires bacteria to enter the biotic part of its cycle. 3) Carbon can be stored in remains of organisms and released as fuel. 4) Both nitrogen and phosphorus are transferred to living organisms from their reservoirs via weathering and erosion. 5) Nitrogen fixation is the specific process required for nitrogen to become a form utilized by plants.

    reservoir is located in?
    a. The ocean
    b. In fossils
    c. The atmosphere
    d. In rocks

    2. Among the different cycles discussed, which chemical element requires the use of
    bacteria to be able to enter the biotic part of their cycle?
    a. Nitrogen
    b. Phosphorus
    c. Carbon
    d. None of the above

    3. This element can be stored in the remains of organisms and is released when those
    remains are utilized as fuel.
    a. Nitrogen
    b. Phosphorus
    c. Carbon
    d. All of the above

    4. This element is transferred to living organisms from their reservoirs due to weathering
    and erosion.
    a. Nitrogen
    b. Phosphorus
    c. Carbon
